In a TikTok video that recently went viral, a man was seen seemingly playing catching with a giant monitor lizard around the corridors of a HDB block.
The protagonist, known as Sukor, took us on a wild ride through the heart-pounding corridors of Taman Jurong. The video had everyone in stitches as they watched the chaos unfold.
The Unexpected Encounter
It all began when a neighbor spotted the lizard at around 11 am. Naturally, they called in the professionals from NParks to handle the situation. However, when the experts arrived, the crafty reptile had vanished into thin air.
A Surprise Appearance
Hours later, around 4 pm, Sukor spotted the lizard casually strolling across the second-storey corridor, and that’s when the real adventure began.
In a spontaneous and humorous turn of events, Sukor decided to play a game of ‘catching’ with himself as the designated ‘it.’ His playful roars and uncontrollable giggles set the tone for what would be a memorable chase.
The Hilarious Pursuit
The monitor lizard, fueled by fear and adrenaline, bolted away from Sukor, its four legs a blur as it raced towards the nearest staircase.
What happened next was something straight out of an action movie. The nimble lizard executed a jaw-dropping drift and made a sharp turn towards the staircase, leaving everyone in awe.
However, it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the reptile. At the staircase landing, it ran headfirst into a wall. As the chase continued, the participants took a time-out to catch their breath. On the floor below, an unseen neighbor armed with a broom joined in.
NParks to the Rescue
After three hours of this comical showdown, NParks staff finally arrived at the HDB to catch the monitor lizard. Armed with a tool, they tried to push the elusive lizard into a cage.
But the lizard had other plans, it managed to squeezed through the tiny gap between the cage and the wall and made a break for it.
The Great Escape
Sukor then spotted the two NParks officers chasing the lizard across the nearby road like a scene out of a cartoon.
Sukor couldn’t contain his amusement and broke into another fit of giggles as he watched the NParks personnel chase the lizard.
A Fortress of Bicycles
The lizard then hid behind a row of bicycles, creating another hilarious hurdle for its pursuers. Realizing they had left the cage behind at the previous stairwell, Sukor sprang into action, retrieving it and rushing back.
Victory at Last
Finally, after an epic chase that felt like something out of a blockbuster movie, the hardworking NParks officers managed to corner the elusive lizard and safely secure it in a cage. As they did so, one of the NParks staff couldn’t help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation.
